LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 124

(iii) As determined under subsection (b) of
this section, the State per pupil current expense aid in each
county is divided by the statewide average per pupil basic
current expense aid to determine an equalizing factor. The
equalizing factor for each county is multiplied by the product
derived in (ii) to determine the unadjusted set-aside for
vocational-technical education.

(iv) [$2.9] $3.9 million is divided by the sum
of the unadjusted set-asides for all counties derived in (iii)
and this quotient is rounded to 7 decimal places to determine the
adjustment factor.

(v) Each county's unadjusted set-aside for
vocational-technical education as derived in (iii) is multiplied
by the adjustment factor derived in (iv). The resulting product
is the set-aside from basic current expense aid for
vocational-technical education for the county.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That for fiscal year
1987 only, the State reimbursement required under § 4-120.1 of
the Education Article is limited to the amount of funds provided
in the fiscal year 1987 State budget. If the total cost of State
reimbursements under § 4-120.1 would exceed the amount budgeted
for fiscal year 1987, the State Board of Education shall prorate
its reimbursement per student to service providing local
education agencies.

SECTION 3. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall
take effect July 1, 1986.

Approved April 29, 1986.
